miss you, my darling, my darling
The em1ers burn low ON the hearth;

And hushed Is the voice of its mirth;
The rain plas hes fast on the terrace.
The winds past the lnttices moan;
The midnight chimes out from the minister
And am alone.

And ali but your presence forget,
In the hush of the happiness given,
To those who through trusting have grown
To the fullness OF love in conteutment
But am alone.
call YOU, my darling, my darling:
My voice echoes back on my heart:
stretch my arms to you in longing,
And 10! they fall empty, apart
whisper the sweet words YOU taught me-
The words that only have known,
Till the blank of the dumb air is bitter,
Tor | am alone.
need you, my darling, my darling;
With its yearuing my very heart .ches;
The load that divides us weighs harder;
shrink from the jar that il makes
Old sorrows rise up to beset me;
Old doubts make my spirit their own.
Oh, come through the darkness and save me

RIGHT BREATHING.

The Serious Danger Of Taking Cold Air
Directly Into the Lungs.
Breathing through the open mouth is
practiced for the most part only by
..civilized'' men. The aborigines Of
our country. and savage tribes else
where, always keep the mouth tightly
closed and breathe through the nostrils.
Nature is a wiser teacher than fashion,
for the primitive method of breathing
il the best one on every principle Of
hygiene. There is danger of severe
injury to the bronchial tubes and to
the delicate vessels of the lungs, in
passing from the warm air Of house
to an atmosphere in the neighborhoOd
Of zero, if the air is taken directly into
the lungs. BY passing it through the
nostrils the chill is removed, and the
shock from the sudden change escaped.
Yet our readers will remember that
Lieutenant Schwatka said that in the
most intense cold Of the Arctic regions,
one must usually breathe through the
mouth.
II the modern germ theory of the
origin of infectious diseases is true,
breathing through the nOstrils is one of
natures safeguards. The hairs, which
line the entrance to the nostrils. may
arrest the germs floating in the air and
prevent their passage to the lungs, and
consequent absorption by the blood.
Parents ought to teach their children
early to breathe only through the nos
trils. Yo9tk's Conpanion.
